Grading, Honor Code, etc.

• Half of your grade will be determined by your homework: specifically - Final, 150pts.; Midterm, 100pts.; Homework 250pts.
• Homework is to be done under the Honor Code - what is submitted is to be your own work. You may talk to each other about the problems, but when the time comes to write up and submit your solution, it is to be your solution.
• You may not copy code.
• Homework will be assigned with a deadline and must be handed in prior to the deadline to be counted.
• Since homework forms such a large part of the grade, you must be careful that your work is not copied. It is a violation of the Honor Code to knowingly allow your work to be copied. You must store your homework files in the directory you create for that purpose (see link below). You may keep backup copies on floppies (although the OIT backs up the UNIX machines), but the only copies left on networked machines must be in your homework directory. Networked machines include any machine in a University lab and any machine in your room connected to the network.
• There are only two exams. If you miss one, talk to me as soon as possible (before is best). In particular, there are University regulations which severely limit our options with regard to the final.

Computer Issues.

• You must be registered for this course.
• You should have an active email account.
• You should have an AFS password.
• Both your email and your AFS account contain sensitive information with regards to this course. If you know or suspect that anyone else knows your AFS password you need to let me know immediately. If at anytime during the semester you suspect that your password is known to others, let me know immediately.
• Some acquaintance with UNIX is needed. At a minimum you should know how to
  • Work in the UNIX system, either by sitting down at a SUN in one of the labs or by telneting to one of these machines from your MAC or PC.
  • Add and delete files to your AFS space.
  • Change directories in your AFS space.
  OIT documents on basic UNIX can be found here.
  • U1010 UNIX 1 is a good basic introduction.
  • U2110 vi Pocket Reference Card will get you running vi, a text editor.
